About Nita Winter

She documented her work fighting wildfires in northern California, later focusing on her passion: capturing the rich and diverse culture of the Bay Area. Nita’s first major project was “Children of the Tenderloin,” a series illustrating the need for a school in a rough San Francisco neighborhood. Her clients include non-profits agencies, national and international corporations and publications: The New York Times, Sesame Street, and Parenting magazines. Seven years ago she began collaborating with her partner, nature photographer Rob Badger, to create an exquisite series documenting our vanishing wildflowers.
